BATTERED MOTHERS CUSTODY CONFERENCE INTERVIEWS


This new video, which will also be shown at the 2009 Battered Mothers Custody Conference, was created to show that the problems exposed in the documentary Small Justice still exist.

Small Justice, an award-winning, independent documentary, exposes a lurking national scandal. Contrary to everything you might think, everything that makes sense, men who beat their wives, sexually abuse their children, and then ask the court for custody, usually get it. It is so counterintuitive, most people simply do not believe it is possible for a judge to hand over custody of children to men who beat their wives and sexually abuse their children. But it is something that happens every day in America, in every state, because the system is broken.


Garland Waller, Producer of Small Justice, has also written a chapter for the upcoming book: DV Abuse and Child Custody: Legal Strategies and Policy. This book will be published in 2009 and Waller's chapter is entitled: " The Yuck Factor, The Oprah Factor, and the "Stickiness" Factor: Why the Mainstream Media Hasn’t Covered Family Court Injustice".
